Sign O' The Times Lyrics

Artist: Prince
Album: Hits-The B-Sides

Oh yeahIn France a skinny manDied of a big disease with a little nameBy chance his girlfriend came across a needleAnd soon she did the sameAt home there are seventeen-year-old boysAnd their idea of funIs being in a gang called The DisciplesHigh on crack, totin' a machine gun

Time, time

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a churchAnd killed everyone insideU turn on the telly and every other storyIs tellin' U somebody diedSister killed her baby cuz she could afford 2 feed itAnd we're sending people 2 the moonIn September my cousin tried reefer 4 the very first timeNow he's doing horse, it's June

by Anil Chaturvedi on 9/21/2010 5:44amThis song is a master piece like most of prince music

by Cynter Amor' on 3/25/2011 10:44amA brilliant master mind, and the lyrics are just a mere example of his craftmenship to his craft/gift/talent and to the music industry. A true visionary of life. His perception is truly our reality.

by Giavanni on 3/9/2013 3:09pmI love Prince. So brilliant. So creative. So inspiring. I love this song. It speaks. It makes you read between the lines and allows you to even make the most subtle attempt to gain a better understanding of his extraordinary thoughts, which no one will ever fully understand.

by Craig Mellor on 8/3/2013 9:14amYeah, it really is a fine song! Most of his songs are fine too!

by roughrufus on 5/12/2014 7:19pmI think Prince may have been high when he made this song (and I think that it was probably transcribed after......) I have always liked this song, the funk, the feeling, and the message of contrasts it portrays......it does make a person stop and think........"what the hell is goin' on??"
